Shattered parents of schoolgirl, 15, killed by Lamborghini break their silence with a tribute

The shattered parents of a 15-year-old girl allegedly killed by an out-of-control Lamborghini have broken their silence with a gut-wrenching tribute.

Sophia Naismith, 15, was killed instantly when the $328,000 car, with licence plate ‘PSYKO’, allegedly hit her in Glengowrie, Adelaide, before crashing into a Chinese restaurant about 10pm on Saturday.

‘Best friend to her sisters. Adored by her grandparents. Admired by her Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Good friend to many. Loved by all.

‘She was an accomplished state volleyballer, gymnast, soccer player and a popular and gifted student. Our lives will never be the same again.’

The parents extended their thanks to family and friends during the distressing time, as well as the emergency crews who assisted Sophia.

They concluded by sending their thoughts and prayers to Jordyn Callea, Sophia’s 15-year-old friend, who is recovering in hospital following the accident.

Jordyn also released a tribute on Monday, writing on her Instagram: ‘Every single piece of my heart goes out to this strong, beautiful girl’

Speaking on behalf of Sophia’s two sisters and their extended family, the parents explained ‘everything has changed’ following the accident

‘We don’t intend to make any further public comments at this time and we ask that our privacy be respected.’

Jordyn also released a tribute on Monday, writing on her Instagram: ‘Every single piece of my heart goes out to this strong, beautiful girl’.

‘I will love you forever and always. Words cannot describe how much I want to change what has happened.’

‘You will be forever loved in everyone’s heart and never forgotten. Rest easy Soph, I love you.’

School friend Daisy Page, 16, said Sophia and Jordyn had been best friends and that the pair were ‘inseparable’ and the ‘nicest girls’.

‘[Rest] easy beautiful Soph, thank you for always managing to put a smile on my face. [I] love you more than you’ll ever know, i miss you already. [I’ll] remember your face forever, fly high baby,’ a friend wrote.

Restaurant owner Kiet Tran said he was cleaning the restaurant when he heard a loud ‘bang’.

He said after the car crash he and Campbell immediately went to check on the girls, but sadly he knew one had died instantly.

Mr Tran said he and the driver then waited for the emergency services to arrive at the scene.

He added the female passenger who had been in the Lamborghini was in ‘shock’ and had been ‘crying and yelling’.

Mr Tran also offered his condolences to Sophia’s family.

South Australia Police said the latest crash brought the state’s road toll to 59 – almost double what it was this time last year at 36.

Campbell was given bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 31.
